The guys did good
Gentlemen.
Fair play to the guys in charge of the 'incident' for doing the right thing, whilst in the water. I am fully aware that a 'crew' is only as good as it's last emergency (outwith the simulator). I hope everyone has respect for the guys involved, to act in such a manner that deserves the ultimate respect. The video shows it!
The last thing they need right now is to be put on the 'spot' by their peers, as happens frequently on this forum.
Everyone in the aviation industry wants to know why a helicopter landed in a place where it shouldn't! In good time my friends........
I concur with my 'learned coleagues' that an "investigation is taking place" and we will await the outcome. Then draw conclusions and then decide where the problem occured and whether the correct actions where carried out.
The Captain of an the A/c is the last person in charge of a very long line of events which lead up to "a flight". There will off course be lots of other people invloved in the investigation, besides the 18 people in the liferaft.
I note with interest that, there has been no mention of this "incident" on the Engineers forum after 5 days! This forum is on page 3!
Could it be there is no news yet! But this forum still continues to post speculations!
Contravertsial mybe.
